Has it been that long ?
It seems just like yesterday that my daughter and I brought home our very first
Persian kitten.
She was so cute and fluffy, when Elizabeth put her up to her face, the kittens whiskers tickled her face. She named her "Tickles Too Cute".
Tickles grew fast and that was when we decided to start raising Persian kittens.
I bought my first male, a red shaded cameo and named him "Carmen Vinccenizo" better know as Vinnie. I found Vinnie's papers the other day and pictures of his babies.
Our first litter was born in 1987.
Tickles and Vinnie had 6 babies, each a different color. How nice it was to see all the beautiful colors of the little kittens.
Over the years we have added new Persians to our cattery. Our leading man is of course
"Basilio Carlos Vincenzio Silavano" better know as "Vinnie".
I love the Persian & Himalayan breed, we only breed for the love of the breed and the preservation of the breed.
Seeing the look on the new parents face when they hold their baby for the first time
is pure love.
Their are many late nights waiting for the babies to be born, I stay with the mom to give her comfort and love.
The queens have a special food from Royal Canin, It gives the mom a lot of nourishment and produces rich milk for the babies.
I have daily chores, I usually get up about 6:30 to get an early start on them.
Some of the chores are doing lots of laundry daily to make sure they have a clean
bedding , cat condo covers, litter boxes that are done twice a day, floors washed and their toys get washed weekly.
I play with the babies, checking them several times a day to make sure they are warm, and gaining weight. When they get older I start grooming them gently with a baby brush.
This is so they get used to the feeling of being groomed.
Before you pick up your baby their ears are cleaned, kitten is wormed, bathed, shots and groomed, ready to join your family.
By the time the kittens are 8 weeks old they are eating on their own,
using the litter box. Then it's time to go to the veterinarian .
Because this is a small cattery, we have a limited number of litters per year.
I choose not to ship babies out of state.
I don't feel it is safe to put a kitten in a cargo area alone.
I don't feel it is safe to put a kitten in a cargo area alone.
Their are many airports that aren't allowing the shipment of small animals
due to liability issues.
However if you are flying in to get your baby I will make sure your kitten has all the necessary paper work to be able to fly back with you.
Their is a fee to prepare all the flying paperwork for the airlines for you to bring the kitten as a carry on.
At this time the kitten has a second visit to the vetarnarian to have a wellness checkup, wormed, rabies shot and the booster shot.
Then the paperwork is prepaired for the flight.
Kittens are sold with a spay/neuter contract, breeding rights are extra and limited .
It's important for you come to the cattery to get to know us and meet the other cats in the cattery.
All kittens are sold with a health certificate from our vet, shot, wormed, loved, 1 year from birth genetic health guarantee and a welcome package to make the transfer smoother for you and your new baby.

A deposit , (is a holding fee ) this will hold a kitten of your choice till you pick it up.
However if you change your mind and no longer want the kitten that has been held for you then the holding fee is non returnable.
Kitten must be paid in full at least 10 days before picking it up.
I reserve the right to limit breeding right.
Terms will be discussed with the breeder.
Any kitten sold as a breeder will need to have a written breeding plan
available for me to view.
I will be glad to help you with any questions at that time.
